I just talked to Juli Lawson and she asked me about the Dyno, as some on asked about it. I told her it was a 300 hP GEdyno of the 50's and probably had a few thousand pound sof copper in it. It only reads torque but a computer hook up can convert that to HP. John hasds a engine cart for it and rebuild everything. It would be nice if someone here would pick it up. I'm the go between on this and I do this to help out July. You pay her, not me. Give me a call if your interested. 1 802 875 2140

Yes, that is a problem. The Dyno is very easy to use and John mad engine adapter carts to just plug into the dyno. I'll try to get some pics.

No, this is the only one, I just trying to help John wife dispose of some of his equipment and i thought this would be the only place this Dyno would be usable. Make an offer?

Hey Ron, where is the dyno located?

JM 35 Sedan · 09-23-2022, 07:52 AM

Ron, another thought came to mind on this dyno.... it's possible the Early Ford V-8 Foundation/Museum might be interested in acquiring this dyno and its related equipment since this may have been primarily setup to test the early Ford Flathead V8 engine and the information gathered by JWL was the basis for one of the best books written on how to enhance performance on our beloved Flathead Ford V-8 engine.

The Dyno is in Fitzgerald, GA>
